Hello,
I've read all the posts I can find on this subject, and I still need help! Im putting a warp on my RH loom that consists of doubled ends of 5/2 cotton (I choose to double the ends to attempt to get the right sett since I only have 10 dent reeds and Im making a doubleweave table runner that I want to be dense). I have only done one other project using two heddles, so Im still a newbie using two heddles. My main problem is that I can not seem to get anything resembling a clean shed. I can barely even get a shed, period! When I raise or lower the 2 heddles together it is just a mess. I have rethreaded it twice now and it seems to be correct, but clearly it is not working!! Maybe I cursed myself by attempting double weave with doubled warp threads? Is that a recipe for disaster? Does anyone have any suggestions or experience that might help? I have not started actually weaving yet because Im still completely stuck on trying to get a shed. Im on the verge of taking the threads out of the heddles and starting the threading over once again, but dont want to waste any more time than I already have if there is some better way to approach this. Thank you!!
